Thread 5 - the one with the windy frog

In message two are the links and info from last year - if anyone has anything they'd like me to amend or add, please do tag me and I'll update.

A reminder not to post affiliate links in the thread but that MN do change amazon links shared by posters into MN affiliate links.

Please do watch the thread rather than post to mark place to make it easier for everyone to keep up and find relevant info.

Ah bobbins, all written out now! Might even attempt wrapping a few 😳

Personally I would wait as they often chop and change offers. I got the actual diffusers rather than refills, which is obviously better if you want to gift. The deal I got was BOGOF in diffusers, plus another free diffuser or candle (I choose a diffuser for myself). I also got a little bundle of free (pay postage only) trial size things; wax melt set, handwash and heel cream. Very pleased with everything.

The BOGOF is same scent. I ordered 4 (2 different scents), then got a free one for myself (another scent)

4 pages already, moving quickly this year

Much appreciated @sellote

My DD has smashed her favourite mug 😭 she was in tears about it. She loved it so much. My mum bought her it from some little boutique shop and I cannot for the life of me find it anywhere except on eBay where it’s out of stock. I even emailed the seller to ask if they could get hold of another but they have nothing.

Has anyone seen it anywhere??

Shame @Godofwar ☹️

I'm going in to the city on Tuesday so if no-one has come across it by then I'll keep my eyes open for it.

I'm Xmas shopping so will be in all sorts of different shops.

Thank you for the info, valentte order will be a good chunk of gifts as cutting down this year. Only the refills were showing as bogof, not the diffusers so added 3 varieties - will use the free diffuser as a gift & buy a set of nice diffuser bottles for the refills.

Another Boden voucher

@Godofwar

There’s this one, but it only has a pink handle:

@Dee1224 @Godofwar I only found that one too, but found it in B&M for £3.50 if there's one locally! I'm usually good at finding replacement broken mugs but not finding this one yet

I got 2 lots of products on BOGOFF on diffusers but was able to mix and match frahgrances then a candle as my free product for hitting £40 threshold. Oh I also did the form to join "Valentte family " as that made the diffusers individually a lower £ (sorry can't remember price).

I was the able to choose about 3 free samples.

If I recall the whole basket was £45? So worked out really well

I need to do this

@Godofwar

There’s also this one but with horrendous p&p from the US:

Could you post a picture of the base? You might be able to find it via a search for the manufacturer.

Amazon have a similar one if it’s any use?

@Godofwar does it have anything written on the bottom of it?

Aww thanks guys. I’ve already stashed the b&m one in my wardrobe as a last resort! I was just hoping to get an exact replica before Christmas. What a surprise that would be! Will have a look at the base now.

Don’t want to waste anyone’s time or put anyone out but if you come across one before Christmas I would appreciate a message 💖

@Godofwar it seems to be an ex b&m mug from a few years back. If I were you, I'd maybe start a new thread seeing if anyone still has one they don't use and willing to post to you? I've seen people manage to find things for their little ones this way. I'll keep an eye out anyway though!

Have been following and finally plucking up the courage to say hi 👋
Loving this thread for the ideas - not just bargains (although they are very welcome!)
was a total 🐑 and ordered a sock advent calendar and a pair of penguin socks last night at about 8pm, sadly no dispatch email for me 😣 I’m in NI so not sure if it will make a difference, I live in hope 🤞🏻
Finally a recommendation from me…. TK Maxx have some Hydro Flasks in stock at super prices-they are fab! My DS uses one for school so have ordered one for my DD for Christmas, and got one for my Mum too. They are normally £30 plus but I got them for £16.99.

😊

The bottom of the mug only says ‘Hand wash only, not suitable for microwave’.

I’ll keep looking and thanks to anyone else who does and let the thread get back on track

As an aside I also purchased the Notino Sol de Janeiro gift set and it looks fab!

Hi

Thanks for all the bargains so far. I’d like to get my mum and sister some nice coffee for their stockings and remember there being talk last year of a great company, but can’t remember the name, does anybody know please and do you think there are likely to be any deals at all? Thanks!

Paddy & Scott coffee is really nice and there were good bargains on it last year. Although can't remember what unfortunately

@Notherereally1 that was the one! Thanks

@Godofwar I think I may have that exact mug... I'll double check in the morning and if I have you're welcome to it, it's not been used

Thanks for the honest feedback, think I will skip it

Asian snacks/sweets seen in TKMaxx today (Mcr), they'll be ramping up the selection for Christmas gifting I think.
